问题 Artificial intelligence,or AI,is called artificial for a good reason.Facebook made that point last week by ending its attempt to rely heavily on software algorithms to select news items for its 2 billion users.It announced Jan.19 that the Facebook"community"will be asked to rank news outlets by their trustworthiness.This reader feedback will promote"high quality news that helps build a sense of common ground"in a world with"so much division,"said chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.The first surveys have started in the United States and will soon expand to other countries.The company plans to include the local news outlets of users in its surveys.Like many digital platforms that act as news providers,Facebook had great faith in a belief that programmed electrons in computer servers can discern qualities of thought such as trust,fairness,and honesty.Even in respected newsrooms,however,these traits of character require constant upkeep among journalists and feedback from paying customers.Good judgment on news relies on orders of consciousness beyond what a machine can do.Rather than move toward becoming a hands-on gatekeeper of news,Facebook now hopes its"diverse and representative"sampling of users can lead to a ranking of news outlets-and that would bring a measure of objectivity in its news feed.The company may be in the news business but it has chosen to outsource news credibility to the collective wisdom of individuals and their ability to distinguish truth from falsehood.By placing its trust in people as seekers of truth,Facebook could earn greater trust from its users.This is also a lesson for many companies,especially digital platforms or those in the media business.According to the latest survey of trust in institutions worldwide by Edelman communications firm,"media has become the least-trusted institution for the first time,"more so than other businesses or government.In particular,the US is"enduring an unprecedented crisis of trust"among many of its institutions,says Richard Edelman,president and CEO of Edelman."The root cause of this fall is the lack of objective facts and rational discourse,"he adds.Facebook's shift away from computer-driven news selection is a welcome step toward restoring trust in the overall business of news.This is not a new problem."Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,"wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1807.Yet the Digital Age has forced the issue of trust for news providers.By inviting readers to participate in solving this problem,Facebook has itself set a new bar for earning trust.Facebook used to select news items byA.adopting Al technology.B.relying on its 2 billion users.C.building a Facebook"community".D.ranking news outlets by credibility.
选项 A.adopting Al technology.
B.relying on its 2 billion users.
C.building a Facebook"community".
D.ranking news outlets by credibility.
答案 A
解析 首段指出，人工智能（AI）毕竟是“人工”的，Facebook的做法“宣布终止依赖软件算法（software algorithms）的筛选新闻方式，转而邀请其用户群对新闻机构的可信度进行排名”印证了这一点。文中software algorithm即指Al技术（与“人类智能”相对）,A.正确。[解题技巧]B.将第一段②句中“为20亿用户筛选新闻（select news items for its 2 billion users）”篡改为“依赖20亿用户筛选新闻（relying on its 2 billion users）”。C.将第一段③句所述“新做法：邀请社群对新闻机构可信度进行排名（Facebook“community”will be asked）”篡改为“旧做法：建立Facebook社群筛选新闻（building a Facebook“community”）”。D.源自第一段③句rank news outlets by their trustworthiness，但由句中will可知，这事关Facebook将要采取的新方式，而非过去的旧方式。
